I have been having diarrhea for almost two weeks now, and I started taking Aricept 4 weeks ago. Could this be the problem, and at what point should I become concerned? Immodium only helps a little.

My former ENT advised me not to use OTC medications to remove ear wax, but I can't remember what he recommended instead. It was something I made at home. Can you recommend something?

My 80-year-old mother has been diagnosed with heart failure and is experiencing severe swelling in her legs, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, and difficulty walking. She is on medication including water pills, carloc, digoxin, and hypace. The dosage of her water pills has been increased, but her condition seems to be worsening. She is immobile and unable to visit a doctor. What should be the next steps to manage her condition and prevent further complications?

I recently had a scope from an ENT who spotted enlarged adenoids that are bluish to purple in color over about 25%. The ENT stated it doesn't look like healthy tissue and plans to biopsy it. I have a second appointment for a second opinion with another ENT. I've had ear, eustachian tube, and left-sided throat pain that responded to initial and two refills of Amoxicillin 875 mg b.i.d. about two months ago. Now, there's some pain again in the adenoid region and minor pain in the eustachian tube. The pain seems to come and go and feels like a burning sensation at times. What are the chances of adenoiditis vs. adenoid carcinoma, or possibly just an infection?
